I got the highest nVidea drvier upgrade ok? And I just found the feature where you can make your own custom resolution. For so many years I've wanted the resolution of 1600x1200. I can't pick that resolution unless I uncheck "Hide resolutions my monitor can't display". Now NOTE: I have picked a resolution that my monitor thought I couldn't display and it worked once before. But sometimes if you pick a bad one you will get nothing but a black screen and it will say, "Cannot display this Video Mode." If I happen to get that error? What can I do to prevent it or undo it?

But I picked a res above 1024x768 and it did the 15 second thing. I stupidly hit Enter so it said "OK" and it snapped to that res. But when it was doing the 15 sec thing it said "Cannot Display this Video Mode". But in case that happens, how do I fix it? That's what I'm asking. EDIT: I've seen 1600x1200 res on a crappy RBG school monitor. And a flat panel LCD monitor can't do that? No. No. I know this may seem cracked out.

It would only take 5-10 minutes, since I recently wrote another little program which changes display settings.

It loads a generic, stable VGA driver that (iirc) runs at 640480, 256 colours. Boot Windows into safe mode to change the resolution.

Of course if you're in the middle of doing something else, you might not want to reset your computer. Yeah I had thought about safe mode, but I wasn't completely sure.

It's been known to hit enter and have the res snap on even tho ur monitor is not supposed to handle it. Other than that, ur right. But you gotta have those programs to save the stupid people from getting pissed. Ummmmm... It's been known to hit enter and have the res snap on even tho ur monitor is not supposed to handle it.
